The Balsam Fir is of great value to wildlife, providing both shelter \u0026amp; food in the form of their seeds \u0026amp; buds to birds, squirrels, \u0026amp; other small critters. Moose, deer, \u0026amp; black bears browse the plants in winter \u0026amp; use the stands for shelter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Balsam Fir is a coniferous tree, \u0026amp; its cones start out a lovely dark purple, maturity to a grayish brown color. They typically measure 2 – 4” in length. The cones are popular decorative items. The wood is used in construction, to make furniture, \u0026amp; for pulp. The needles are used to fill pillows \u0026amp; sachets for their fragrance, \u0026amp; essential oils are extracted from needles to make a wide variety of products.
